Beaten favorite Little Widow Maker tries to make amends in Osiris

Little Widow Maker, beaten a nose as the 9-5 favorite when making her last start in the Aug. 2 Graduation, will be well backed to make amends in Wednesday’s $30,000 Osiris Stakes at Assiniboia Downs.

Trained by Charlie Smith, Little Miss Widow Maker earlier had shipped up from Canterbury Park to capture the 5 1/2-furlong Debutante when making her second career start and looms the solid choice of seven 2-year-olds in the six-furlong Osiris.

The 5 1/2-furlong Debutante was restricted to fillies and while the Graduation field included males it was another invading filly, Paris by Night, who eked out the score over Little Widow Maker.

Filllies outnumber the colts and geldings by a 4-3 margin in the Osiris and Little Widow Maker should run down the speed after she breaks from the outside post under rider Rohan Singh.

Kommando Kate and Bondola are two of the other locally-based fillies in the Osiris and should furnish the main opposition for the Kentucky-bred Little Widow Maker.

A Manitoba-bed trained by Chad Torevell, Kommando Kate is 2 for 2 with her latest an comfortable win in the restricted North Dakota Futurity at six furlongs.
